Planning a Pumpkin Party - Ideas on the menu?

Heyaz -

I'm having a dinner/arts+crafts party this week, and the theme is pumpkins. I've promised pumpkin carving and pumpkin eating. But now I need to figure out what exactly we'll eat. I've seen lots of pumpkin recipes, but I need help figuring out what will go well together for the party.

Cut the pumpkin into chunks, boil in big pot w/ a little olive oil & sea salt for 15-20 minutes or until soft. Drain. Scoop meat off shell, put back in pot (without the water). Add lots of butter, cinammon, allspice, and some honey or sugar (if that's compatible with your diet). Mash it all together, but leave some big chunks in it. I eat it w/o sugar or honey, but some like it sweeter.

All of the above! I totally want to come to your party. It sounds delicious

Same here! As a long-time pumpkin lover, I'm swooning over this menu.
